Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

The 90 degree Lazy 8s were standard stuff at B-52 IP school at Castle. Its been out of the course for years now.

Nobody, but nobody can refuel like BUFF drivers.

That's a load of bunk. Try refueling an F-4 with three external tanks and 6 MK-82's and an ECM pod. One engine in min burner and use the other to maintain position.

You mean "funding" them from other fleets. Lets see - what did that involve last time? DC9's are already all accounted for so it means it'll come out of 320B and 7ERB surpluses and senior F/O's bidding 717/73N A. Wonder if DTW 717 will open? Surprised its so soon though. Hopefully there is not a slowing of deliveries and we are rolling back some of the last AE.

What's an F-4? Don't you mean F-14?

Out of base GSs for ATLM88B. With someone getting their 4th GS of the month I can't make sense of anyone giving the gift to the company of taking a WS.:eek:

forgot to bid

ugh.................................

Because they did say the next AE would be AUG or SEP with the intent of adding more 73N and 717 positions. Maybe they want to be able to plan this out and then hire in 2016.

That's a lot of greenslips eh?

But most of them go into next month? I forget, you can ask to have it applied to this month if it spills over right?

Might this be a part of a Delta 3-way?

Cut me some slack. The F-4 isn't even suitable as a target drone any more!
